Tim’s Slasher Tweet Reviews: “A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child” (1989)

Slasher Studios*Slasher Tweet Review

If 1988 was Freddy at his peak, 1989 was the beginning of the end for Freddy. With 1989 saw the release of “The Dream Child”, the fifth installment of the Freddy franchise. Audiences were not impressed. The film grossed a little under half of what its immediate predecessor earned ($22 million vs. $49 million). Audiences seemed to have their fill of Freddy. Was “The Dream Child” just an underrated classic released at the wrong time or did this film deserve to be gutted at the box office? Our resident twitter reviewer Tim Schilling finds out with a brand new tweet by tweet review.

Thoughts before the film:
I really don’t know what to expect for this one…

Thoughts while watching:
0:06 Ew please don’t show when Freddy was conceived.
0:16 Where would she even fall asleep if she was at her own graduation?
0:19 That baby sure is ugly.
0:21 That made no sense how Freddy came back. They better explain why.
0:29 Dan’s dream was a dream in a dream… Inception.
0:32 You’re just a little pregnant.
0:35 At this point wouldn’t everyone already know who Freddy is so we don’t have to go through it every movie?
0:41 That dinner scene… I don’t know why I liked it. So weird.
0:48 Jacob you’re creepy.
0:49 Maybe she could just not name the baby Jacob and all of the could be over.
0:58 What kind of lawyers do these people have that they think they already have a claim on someone else’s baby?
1:09 Oh no super Freddy.
1:15 Hahha ew, poor Freddy. I hope they don’t do what they did to his mother.
1:24 Freddy just die already.

Final Verdict:
I thought the fourth one was confusing, but #ANightmareOnElmStreet5 was even more so. The plot made no sense, at all. It was basically a random reason to make another movie in the series. But, I still love how weird these movies are. The crazy effects are too awesome to hate.

Tim’s Slasher Tweet Reviews: “A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master” (1988)

Slasher Studios*Slasher Tweet Review

Tim Schilling is back as we continue our “Nightmare” week here at Slasher Studios. This time he’s got a tweet by tweet review for the most successful of the Elm Street sequels (not including “Freddy vs. Jason”), “A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master.” Stylish and a bit over-the-top, this has been my guilty pleasure of Elm Street series for years. Nevertheless, many fans of the series said this is where Nightmare jumped the shark. Let’s see which side of the fence Tim falls on.

Thoughts before the film:
I’m at the point of the series(4-6)where I can’t remember which movie is which,too many sequels will do this to ya.

Thoughts while watching:
0:05 They couldn’t get Patricia Arquette back for this? Lame.
0:16 Kinds glad my dog doesn’t piss fire.
0:20 The Dream Warriors need to get more people to them or they all gonna die!
0:22 Not sure if that waterbed is awesome, or really creepy that a person can swim in it..
0:23 Okay it’s not awesome since Freddy can live in it.
0:27 Freddy is a bad looking woman.
0:32 Hey the prostitute’s back!
0:36 For a second I thought she started dreaming that she was in Jaws. What a weird crossover that would be.
0:40 A-okay that Kristen is dead. I liked her better in 3.
0:43 Kristen is inside of you, Alice. You were there for it, duh.
0:54 These dreams are starting to become ridiculous.
0:55 Don’t be friends with Alice. You’ll just die.
1:09 Freddy is such a bad spotter. Don’t let him go to the gym with you.
1:16 Alice is THE Dream Master! Too bad she got all the Dream Warriors killed. They coulda kicked ass.
1:24 …this isn’t weird or anything.

Final Verdict:
Not to sure how I feel about #ANightmareOnElmStreet4. I thought it was a ton of fun to watch, but the plot was all over the place. I did like how it still had the same feel as the first three movies in the series, but I think it started to jump the shark with this one.

Tim’s Slasher Tweet Reviews: “A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors” (1987)

Slasher Studios*Slasher Tweet Review

The Nightmare continues once again at Slasher Studios as our resident twitter reviewer Tim Schilling takes a look at “A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.” By far and away the fan favorite of the Freddy sequels, Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) is back with a whole new group of teens to battle Freddy but can they stop him for good? Of course not.

Thoughts before the film:
Totally liking this series more this time around. Hopefully it will continue through.

Thoughts while watching:
0:06 Even if you’re having a nightmare don’t you know never to go into the basement!?
0:07 At less the awesome score from the first movie is back. They didn’t have it in the second one.
0:14 So happy Nancy is back.
0:22 Come on Nancy you’re a DREAM WARRIOR!
0:24 Life style of the rich an psychotic. That may be a tv show at some point.
0:31 Human puppet… Kinda gross. But awesome at the same time.
0:34 A night on the quiet room. That sounds terrifying since this is basically an insane asylum.
0:39 Oh man crazy bitch you asleep!
0:39 What do you guys think: does Freddy say ‘fuck the prime time bitch’ or ‘welcome to prime time bitch’?
1:00 Freddy is the bastard son of 100 maniacs. I can see that.
1:01 I love that they got the same actors to reprise their roles.
1:10 Dream Warriors: assemble!
1:12 I don’t care if it’s true or not, I will always think Kristen’s mom is a prostitute. It fits.
1:28 Not fair, that guy gets two powers. He can talk AND blow up mirrors with his voice.
1:29 No not Nancy!!

Final Verdict:
#ANightmareOnElmStreet3 was another great sequel I thought. Like the second one, it was able to be a sequel while still being its own story. Great, crazy over the top effects and the return of good music. Oh yeah, and Nancy. Nancy is great too.

Tim’s Slasher Tweet Reviews: “A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge” (1985)

Slasher Studios*Slasher Tweet Review

The Nightmare continues at Slasher Studios as our resident twitter reviewer Tim Schilling takes a look at “A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge.” Forgetting many of the rules of the original, this sequel takes the franchise into a dark area many of the future sequels were afraid to touch. The film was even more successful at the box office than it’s original but received a bit of a mixed reaction among fans of the series.

Thoughts before the film:
Marathon continues! Haven’t seen part 2 in a while.

Thoughts while watching:
0:08 The weirdest looking people are in this movie…
0:09 Hahah, why would he even think of pulling his pants down? That’s just weird.
0:17 How did they get the snake out of the cage without ANYONE noticing?
0:22 This diary thing would have been better if it was hinted in the first one.
0:29 Those poor birds! Either it’s REALLY hot in the house… Or Freddy is an asshole.
0:33 I bet the coach is just pissed Jessie found him at a gay bar.
0:55 I can’t tell if Jessie and Grady are friends or not.
0:59 These effects are so much better than anything CGI can do. I like cheesy.
0:59 The shot when Jessie’s mouth was open and you could see Freddy’s eye… So cool.
1:07 Freddy is such a party pooper.
1:10 For getting attacked by a crazy killer and seeing all their friends die, these kids don’t look too scared.
1:12 Those mutant dog things were freaky.
1:17 You gotta have some balls to kiss Freddy. He’s a nasty one.

Final Verdict:
I thought #ANightmareOnElmStreet2’s story was a great continuation of the first while still different to be its own. Lots of, um, subtext in the movie that kind of stalled Freddy’s character development and instead showed more of the characters we will probably never see again.

Tim’s Slasher Tweet Reviews: “A Nightmare on Elm Street” (1984)

Slasher Studios*Slasher Tweet Review

Are you ready for a week filled with “Nightmare on Elm Street” goodness slasher fans? Of course you are! It’s one of the best horror series around with innovative deaths and a wonderful grotesque performance by Robert Englund who returned for ALL of the Nightmare sequels. Today we bring you the first installment of the tweet by tweet reviews from Tim Schilling for the original classic. I consider it one of the best horror movies of all time but does he…

Thoughts before the film:
Gonna do the whoooole series over the next week or so, I know y’all are excited for this. First, the original! 1, 2, Freddy’s coming for you…

Thoughts while watching:
0:07 I wish Johnny Depp didn’t turn into the tool he is today,he’s so much better in this than the crap he does now.
0:11 Over acting sex scenes are funny.
0:14 When Freddy makes like an imprint on the wall, that’s still such a creepy scene.
0:22 This guy is a total greaser. He’d fit right in The Outsiders.
0:25 Fuckin hall monitors! I’ll never trust you again.
0:27 Freddy likes self mutilation a little too much.
0:30 These cops are pretty stupid. How would the guy drag Tina’s body to the ceiling?
0:32 First time I’m watching this movie in a while and I realize how many iconic scenes it has.
0:37 Nancy is kinda a tease but mostly a bitch.
0:44 Why do you never listen to us kids?
0:47 After 2 people died, and everyone having nightmares, NOW you have an idea who is killing everyone?
1:03 Nancy is prepared in the coffee department.
1:08 And the best death scene ever goes to….
1:20 I’ve jumped twice because of this movie, that never happens. I don’t know what’s with me tonight.
1:22 Freddy is gettin fucked up.
1:29 Geez Freddy stop trollin everyone.

Final Verdict:
#ANightmareOnElmStreet is one of those movies that gets better every viewing. This is probably only my fourth time watching it but I liked it way more than the other times. Creepy scenes, Freddy is freaky, andI even liked the acting. Also, great music (GO 80’s!).

Tim’s Horror Tweet Reviews: “The Lost Boys” (1987)

Slasher Studios*Slasher Tweet Review

Our one and only resident twitter reviewer Tim Schilling is back with a look at the vampire classic “The Lost Boys.” One of the first “MTV style” horror movies some have slammed the film for being a case of style over substance. Nonetheless, the film was a huge hit on initial release taking in nearly $40 million and has remained a popular horror movie to this day. Let’s see if Tim’s stab at the film turns him into a fan of vampire flicks.

Thoughts before the film:
If you’ve talked to me about horror movies before you’ll know I’m not a huge vampire fan. Tons of people recommended this one. #TheLostBoys

Thoughts while watching:
0:05 This movie already has an advantage of being made in the 80’s. I’m a sucker for a good 80’s movie.
0:07 I don’t want my grandpa to play dead next time I see him…
0:09 Read the tv guide, you don’t need a tv! Perfect sense.
0:22 I swear the mother in this movie is smoking something.
0:32 I don’t understand what these vampires are trying to do. Hanging from a bridge?
0:37 I should keep count how many times they said Michael/Mike in this movie. It’s literally every other word.
0:40 You wait until mom finds out you’re a vampire!
0:51 Yup the mom is definitely on something.
0:58 This is such an awkward dinner.
1:01 These vampires are straight up hooligans.
1:14 I want everyone in the town to end up being vampires at the end.
1:23 Death by stereo!
1:24 Are you serious? That was a little boy? I thought it was a girl this whole movie…
1:29 I knew he was the head vampire. I knew it when he asked to be invited in the house.
1:30 I bet the mom is thinking she’s having a bad trip right now.
1:33 Hahhaa, grandpa. “All the damn vampires!”

Final Verdict:
Pretty much loved #TheLostBoys. So corny but smart with tons of horror references at the same time. Great story and music. Not sure if it was supposed to be funny but I got a bunch of laughs out of it. Definitely one of my favorite vampire movies now.

Tim’s Slasher Tweet Reviews: “Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3” (1990)

Slasher Studios*Slasher Tweet Review

It’s been awhile but our Twitter reviewer Tim Schilling is back with a brand new tweet by tweet review on “Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3.” The film was a box office bomb when released grossing less than $10 million in theaters and receiving harsh criticism among both fans and critics of the series. Out on DVD in an unrated cut, does the film deserve the scorn it received or does the added carnage make the film worth the buzz?

Thoughts before the film:
I get to choose to watch the rated version or the unrated version. I wonder what I’ll pick. #TexasChainsawMassacre3

Thoughts while watching:
0:02 Oh hey Ken Foree. I didn’t know you were in this.
0:15 …when is something gonna happen.
0:18 There’s at least one Psycho reference in every slasher film.
0:22 This chase scene makes no sense.It was day when they left,guy in the truck left at night, now they’re together.
0:26 Leatherface what did I tell you about coming out of no where and making me jump like that!
0:27 How did this woman get her license!? She hits everything on the road!
0:31 Ken Foree doesn’t age.
0:38 Leatherface is like a ninja in this one with all his little gadgets and how he keeps appearing out of nowhere.
0:45 The Texas in this series is completely different in each movie. Very few things are simar about the setting.
0:50 Grandpa looks dead again. I bet he’s gonna walk around later as usual like nothing happened.
1:01 I just want Leatherface to be as mean as he was in the first one.
1:06 No Leatherface, ‘food’ is not the correct way to spell Santa. Try again.
1:12 These fight scenes have great music.
1:15 Chainsaws don’t float around in water!

Final Verdict:
I’m not sure why I love The Texas Chainsaw series as much as I do, and Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III just proves it again. Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III was a good spin on the simple story that the first made, I loved the sets, and all the characters were different from each other and the characters from the other movies which made it even more entertaining.

Tim’s Slasher Tweet Reviews: “Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers” (1989)

Slasher Studios*Slasher Tweet Review

Here is the second half of our Michael Myers double feature from our resident Twitter reviewer Tim Schilling. “Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers” was rushed into production for release less than a year after the very successful “Halloween 4” to negative critical reception and poor box office. Is the film really a diamond in the rough or did it deserve the horrible reception it received?

Thoughts before the film:
Halloween 4 is probably my favorite sequel of the whole series. But, I haven’t seen this one in forever. Maybe that’ll change?

Thoughts while watching:
0:04 Legit, I don’t know why they just don’t chop Michael’s head off. That’ll be the end of him.
0:11 The dog better not die in this one.
0:18 Did something happen Jamie so you can’t talk or did they write that in with no reasoning?
0:21 Wah I liked you Rachel. Your death was pointless, and not even good.
0:28 Half of Halloween Resurrection was basically ripped off of this one.
0:40 I wonder how Michael learned how to drive?
0:45 That did not sound like cookie woman at all.
0:46 Oh okay you can talk again. Why? No reason.
1:01 These cops are so useless.
1:04 Boo editing. Release a movie the way it was meant to be seen.
1:12 I like how Rachel hasn’t even been mentioned since she died. She wasn’t a main character or anything.
1:24 Only this series could make a scene in a laundry vent thing last 5 minutes. At least it’s memorable.
1:24 Memorable as in this scared the crap outta me when younger.
1:25 Screw you. No reason to kill the dog. Completely pointless.
1:26 Danielle Harris is actually really good in this for being so young. She’s a scream queen at heart!
1:30 Dr. Loomis check yourself into an insane asylum.

Final Verdict:
I like how Halloween 4 and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers were connected. Similar tone, similar sets, but a different story that was a great continuation of the 4th installment, not mentioning some huge and completely random plot holes.

Tim’s Slasher Tweet Reviews: “Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers” (1988)

Slasher Studios*Slasher Tweet Review

We are back with another slasher double feature from our resident Twitter reviewer Tim Schilling. Today he is looking at “Halloween 4” and “Halloween 5”, one of the best loved Halloween sequels and another sequel that most fans would love to forget. Twenty+ years later, how well do these sequels hold up? Let’s dig in and find out if Michael’s knife is as sharp as ever with “Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers.”

Thoughts before the film:
Halloween is probably my least favorite slasher series… Why do I keep coming back to it? #Halloween4

Thoughts while watching:
0:10 I won’t even ask why Michael already has his mask back on, he was only in lockdown for like ten years.
0:17 I wonder how bodies get chewed up from a car crash so much that you can’t tell how many people there were.
0:21 The scene where dr. Loomis is in the gas station. Scared the crap outta me when I was young. I realize I was a big baby.
0:27 Oh no they hit a cow and flipped over! Is 50 First Dates a spin off?
0:29 I feel really bad for Jamie for some reason. She’s too little.
0:35 Dr. Loomis is the one that needs to be locked up I think sometimes.
0:38 El oh el Brady you stupid.
0:40 If the phone just keeps ringing when you call the police… bring out the rednecks.
0:59 Trolololol too bad Michael is already in the house.
1:12 The part where they’re on the roof is pretty intense.
1:24 Jamie you freaking psychopath.

Final Verdict:
Besides the lame beginning, Halloween: The Return of Michael Myers was actually decent. I loved the settings in the movie and the general idea of the story. It also had some very creepy shots of Michael which reminded me when I watched as a kid that scared the crap outta me.

Tim’s Slasher Tweet Reviews: “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning” (2006)

Slasher Studios*Slasher Tweet Review

We are back with another tweet by tweet review from our twitter reviewer Tim Schilling. Earlier today, he reviewed “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” remake and now he is back taking a look at the prequel. The film did okay at the box office making $40 million on a $17 million but received harsh reviews from most critics who called it unnecessarily grisly. Does it stand up to the remake?

Thoughts before the film:
I liked the remake of TCM, a prequel of a remake is kind of interesting. #TCMTheBeginning

Thoughts while watching:
0:02 She’s having a baby you moron, she’s not dead.
0:13 So the reason behind Leatherface’s killings is cause he couldn’t work at a meat factory?
0:24 What’s with these characters and Mexico in this series?
0:27 Oh no they hit a cow and flipped over! Is 50 First Dates a spin off?
0:32 At least in the remake the sheriff didn’t kill people out of the blue for no reason.
0:45 I’m gonna cut your head off! You just keep sweet talkin me.
0:46 They eat people in the prequel, but not in the remake. What happened? Did they go vegan?
0:54 There’s no way they could have pushed that 752627 pound woman to close the door.
0:56 Leatherface and his freaking meat hooks. Forget about the chainsaw.
1:03 “tell me where the girl is!” as I cover your mouth to stop yelling. Makes sense.
1:11 Isn’t this supposed to be ‘the beginning’? So why is Leatherface know so good at… taking their faces.
1:20 Youre just mad that she found our y’all are inbred.
1:23 These movies need to be renamed to Texas Chainsaw and Jumping out of Windows Massacre.
1:28 That ending was really the only good thing of this movie.

Final Verdict:
For a prequel, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning was pretty pointless. It hardly gave a reason why this family is so messed up. If you look at is as as just another sequel, it’s basically the same thing as the other movies in the series. Nothing new was brought to it.
